This is my rubric for judging journalism websites. I decided to make it after a Twitter rant about how judging journalism websites is terribly subjective.

Recently, while doing some judging for a journalism contest, I was given these guidelines for judging best website:

Entries will be judged on original journalistic content, design, creative use of technology and ease of navigation. Entry can include links to examples such as special online projects, interactives or databases prepared during the contest period.

Given that, here is my base rubric:

Level of journalism
Looking for quality journalism (newsworthiness, timeliness, scope of coverage, not click bait, etc.)

	"twitter-news": {

	"access_token":"asdf",
	"access_token_secret":"asdf"
	},
	"bitly": {
	"access_token": "asdf"
	}
